BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) — Beijing authorities raised their alert level on Monday afternoon over the threat of heavy rain. At 1 p.m., the city's meteorological bureau issued a red alert, the highest in China's four-level warning system. Forecasters said heavy rain was possible across the city from Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning.
In most areas of the capital, the amount of rainfall in 6 hours is expected to exceed 100 mm, and in some places even 200 mm.
The Beijing Water Resources Administration and the Beijing Meteorological Service have issued a joint warning over possible flooding, with Miyun District considered the most vulnerable, and Fangshan, Mentougou and Huairou districts also at risk.
Currently, several districts in Beijing, including Shijingshan, Fengtai, Huairou, Fangshan and Mentougou, are on red alert due to the increased risk of torrential rains, mudslides and landslides.
Heavy rains killed 44 people in Beijing last week, affecting more than 300,000 residents and damaging about 24,000 homes. -0-
